There’s a hole in its tail that allows it to draw in the air it needs to keep its fire burning. If the hole gets blocked, this Pokémon will fall ill.

Sun & Moon Heatmor Best Moveset

Whitesmoke isn't flashy, but it matters. Combined with Assault Vest for a special bulk boost with no status moves allowed and flexible EVs, Heatmor fills the defensive wall slot reliably. Sassy nature finishes the spread.

Moves

Breadth over depth defines this movepool. Heatmor won't stack one type's damage ceiling, but coverage across 10 types means it always has an effective option. Overheat and Flare Blitz anchor the STAB core.

Heatmor Guide

  • In Sun & Moon, Flash Fire changes the entire equation for Heatmor. The 484 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked C-Tier as an attacker. Firelash with Assault Vest is the standard set.

  • In Sun & Moon, watch for Milotic (Water), Swampert (Ground), and Rhyperior (Rock) when using Heatmor. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB.

  • Flash Fire is what you want on Heatmor. Every competitive set worth running is built with that ability in mind. The alternatives (Gluttony, White Smoke) work on paper but Flash Fire is what makes Heatmor worth using.

  • At base 65 Speed, it won't be moving first often. On offense, Heatmor is a mixed attacker with base 97 Attack and 105 Sp. Atk. Defensively? Enough bulk to take a hit or two. Best used as an attacker.

  • In Sun & Moon, run Firelash, Giga Drain, Superpower, and Overheat on Heatmor. Firelash is the most common pick at 25% usage. Overheat provides reliable STAB damage.

Game Availability

Heatmor joined the series in Black & White and has been available in 7 titles so far. With 6 generations of appearances, it's established itself despite the later start.
